The aseptic processing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $76.82 billion in 2023 to $81.29 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Historical growth can be attributed to the need for extended shelf life, the globalization of food trade, consumer preferences for fresh-such as products, growth in the pharmaceutical industry, expansion of the dairy sector, and adherence to regulatory standards and compliance.
The aseptic processing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $103.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The forecasted growth is driven by the increase in ready-to-eat meals, the expansion of the pharmaceutical pipeline, the emergence of new beverage categories, adoption of sustainable packaging solutions, and growth in the healthcare industry. Major trends expected in this period include single-use technologies, advancements in filling and sealing technologies, developments in cell and gene therapies, integration of robotics and automation, and the implementation of sustainable aseptic packaging methods.
The increasing demand for pharmaceutical supplies is poised to drive the growth of the aseptic processing market in the foreseeable future. Aseptic packaging and processing equipment play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the cleanliness and sterilization of products, containers, closures, and machine components before manufacturing. This process is essential to maintain a bacteria-free environment in both packaging and production processes. The heightened awareness of various diseases and the growing trend of self-medication practices have contributed to a surge in demand for pharmaceutical supplies. Consequently, pharmaceutical production activities have witnessed significant growth, leading to an increased adoption of aseptic processing in both production and packaging processes. As an illustration, data from The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, a Belgium-based trade association and lobbying organization, reveals that in 2021, North America accounted for 49.1% of global pharmaceutical sales, surpassing Europe's share of 23.4%. This robust demand for pharmaceutical supplies, particularly in North America, serves as a key driver propelling the aseptic processing market forward.
The anticipated increase in demand for packaged goods is set to drive the growth of the aseptic processing market in the coming years. Packaged goods, encompassing pre-processed, sealed products ready for sale, such as canned foods and boxed items, rely on specific processing techniques to ensure preservation, quality, and extended shelf stability. As an example, in September 2022, Statistics Canada, the national statistical office in Canada, reported a continuous year-over-year rise in food sales for the fourth consecutive period, surging by 7.2% in June. Notable increases were observed in the sales of packaged food and dry goods (9.7%) and frozen food (15.7%). Additionally, sales of fresh food saw a 4.8% increase, driven by higher sales of eggs, dairy products (8.0%), and baked goods (11.2%). This trend underscores the growing consumer preference for packaged goods, leading to increased demand for aseptic processing solutions. The market is expected to play a pivotal role in meeting the processing requirements of packaged goods, ensuring their preservation, quality, and overall market appeal.
The aseptic processing market is witnessing a notable trend with the emergence of low-carbon footprint packaging. This sustainable packaging approach involves the use of chemical-free, natural, and bio-based materials in aseptic packaging, aiming to minimize wastage and reduce environmental impact. The rise in pollution attributed to increasing carbon footprints has prompted the development of materials with a low carbon footprint for packaging products. Leading players in the industry are strategically focusing on sustainable aseptic packaging solutions to both attract customers and optimize revenue. For example, in February 2022, EMD Serono, the healthcare business of Merck KGaA in Germany, launched slim pack fertility medication packaging, reducing its size by 40%. The 100% recyclable packaging significantly lowers the global carbon footprint of this fertility medication by 33%.
A significant strategy in the aseptic processing industry involves major companies forming strategic partnerships to deliver innovative and comprehensive solutions for sterile packaging and production requirements. Strategic partnerships entail leveraging the strengths and resources of each partner for mutual benefits and success. For instance, in March 2023, ProAmpac, a US-based flexible packaging company, entered into a partnership with FirstWave Innovation, a US-based manufacturer of aseptic food products. Through this collaboration, the companies jointly developed Aseptic Spouted Pouches. FirstWave's aseptic filling technology, combined with ProAmpac's short-run pouching capabilities, allows co-packers to introduce custom-printed spouted pouches for shelf-stable liquid food. This capability is particularly suited for market trials, trade shows, product samples, and launches, aligning with FirstWave's precise processing capacities and facilitating aseptic product innovation across various scales.
In February 2021, Cytiva, a prominent US-based healthcare technology company, completed the acquisition of Vanrx Pharmasystems for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move positions Vanrx to augment Cytiva's FlexFactory platforms and KUBio modular facilities, thereby empowering Cytiva to expedite the biomanufacturing process comprehensively. Vanrx Pharmasystems, a Canadian company renowned for its expertise, specializes in the development of robotic aseptic filling machines designed to fill vials, syringes, and cartridges with heightened efficiency and minimized risk, ultimately facilitating faster delivery to patients.
